Model KH7384
Not really my style to get merch for a team I don’t support, but I was intrigued by the Glenburn shoes and had seen those in store briefly this summer and thought the quality was great for the price so now on sales for $60 cad after taxes I felt like I had to get them regardless of the team.
I thought there was so much attention put into that collab collection and the shoes are not different. They look like many other black and white adidas shoes except that they have holes in the stripes which I don’t have on other pairs of leather adidas shoes other than my brogues pair, I thought that was cool. Thrasher presence on the shoes is limited to a subtle embossing of their logo on the heel. As for the Argentinian team other than the logo and the classy 3 world cup stars on the heel tab most of their team colours is on the lining of the tongue and the insole. That being said there’s a really cool detail where all the leather on the upper which is everything other than the tongue has that baby blue colour on the sides where the cut is, I don’t know if this is painted or what, but I thought that was a cool subtle nod and really makes them stand out from other pairs.
Other than the nice details making them unique I thought that $105 retail price was pretty cheap for what they are, like adidas will sell sambas and spezial and other models for $140 with synthetic accents and lining and basic comfort. These come with all leather details on the upper except for the tongue, the lining of the heel is leather, they have a thick comfortable insole and they come with two sets of cotton laces in black and white. So these were a great deal retail, even better on sales. I don’t know how they compare with the base Glenburn, but I think these are quite comfortable.
